Thank you, Madam Speaker. Without getting into any specifics, it is difficult for me to give the Member a concrete example. I would say generally that when I do meet with companies doing business in regions, oil companies, mining companies, I continue to encourage them to take advantage and make use of local companies and local labour, because obviously grassroots support by these companies is critical and if that support is not there or is waning, I think it generally impacts on the success that companies will have.

Companies that are not used to doing business in the North may not immediately recognize this, although I think it is becoming generally more accepted that you have to do business locally. It is not good enough to simply parachute in, take work and leave with all of the benefits in tow.

We will continue to encourage companies to absolutely leave as much as possible in terms of work and benefits on the ground. I will give the Member that assurance that we will continue to do that. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
